I know they are pretty similar, but I am not sure if there are any glaring differences that would be used in 5 and not in 6.22

I am installing this on a 386SX-25 w/ 4MB RAM as well as a 286-10 w/ 2.5 MB RAM and was looking to read / know any optimizing tips for DOS 5.0 on these processors

Thu, 15 Nov 2018 16:58:50 GMTI'm working on a actual production server that is still using Netware 4.11 for small business.
I've managed to get it up with a regular copy of 4.11, but without the licensing working (2 connections.)

I've managed to track down NW4.2SB, but it's not reading the MLS.000 either, and the only 4.11 media I've found is standard, or intranetware.

The server was brought to me with the dos partition missing the novell files. Can't even find them as deleted files running modern undelete utils.

The sad thing, the card is about 2 inches too long to fit in the Tandy 1000 SX :(

I’m after a DOS program that can check each disk. Perhaps something that writes random data to the entire disk, and then checks to ensure the write was successful. Formatting / deleting files on disks within the program would also be ideal.

Any suggestions?

To my great surprise the system has booted with relative ease, except for a blown capacitor on the CGA card. I've booted the system with DOS 3.3 using a floppy. One of the hard drives on the Expansion Unit has a directory of software called "DUBLDISK". I was able to pull all the files, zip them up and put them on my website.

I am wondering if anyone knows anything more about this program, and possibly has a manual or other information? There is a READ.ME with some limited information. I would use some common sense caution with these files considering their provenance. Thanks. Michael

Invalid Node ID or I/O Port Mismatch

I ran the diag disk for the card and everything comes up fine. Using IRQ 10 and I/O 300h

Protocol INI shows the same I/O Base of 0x300H

Not sure what to do about that error and dont know where to look as it wont load the driver (NE12.DOS) right afterward....

Sat, 27 Oct 2018 19:26:59 GMTTHE SOLUTION FOR ANYONE GOOGLING THIS DOWN THE LINE: It's not a bug, it's a feature™. Windows 2.11/386 runs at 640x450 in VGA mode in order to maintain compatibility with EGA software in windowed mode. This is only actually explained in the documentation for Windows 2.03/386, which also has a 640x480 driver (at the cost of only being able to run EGA software fullscreen.) The fun and thrills of early adoption, eh?

This seems to happen independent of the display connected, and the windowing environment just sort of acts like the dead space isn't there at all in both WIN386 and WIN86: this doesn't happen in 2.11/286's VGA mode, Windows ≥3.0's VGA mode, or in any other programs at all.

At the time of my last thread I only had my COMPAQ DeskPro 386 and my workbench display to work with limiting what data i could get on the matter, but now I've got more to work with so i figure it's time to pop this case file back open.

2.11/386 on the PS/2 8580, "dead space" visible. Compare Windows 3.11 on the same machine. (Note: only a shot of WIN86 is available since WIN386 won't run on my later 8580 without a patch that seems to be lost to time)

The issue seems to not happen under COMPAQ Plasma mode in Windows 2.11/386 on a COMPAQ Portable 386, and under emulated or virtualized environments Windows 2.11/386 makes use of the full 640x480 as it presumably should. (The lines on the display are a plasma panel fault and not connected to the issue)

Is this just another case of 2.11/386 being buggy, I wonder?

CCplus is a dos-based remote control program that requires two separate copies to work and has some REALLY nasty DRM that deletes part of the master diskette once it's setup. Part of me is wondering if anyone was proactive enough to archive the diskettes before running the installation. I have two copies myself but I do believe they have both been "spent" unless a generic UNDELETE command will salvage the CCINSTAL program.
